Optimizing Irrigation and Nutrient Management
May 15 at noon CT
Irrigation and nutrient management are key to success for many Nebraska producers. This success depends on factors that include costs, equipment, and managerial practices. It starts with hybrid selection and involves aspects of infrastructure and preparation as well as and managerial prowess. The key is optimizing production on a field-by-field basis. The difference in outcome was illustrated recently in the 2024 TAPS contest in North Platte, where there was a 68-bushel difference in performance, directly attributable to differing irrigation and nitrogen management.
This webinar will present is a three-person panel discussion including an Agronomist, Water Engineer, and an Agricultural Economist.
